If you want to print images from the ExacqVision software on an ExacqVision server, you might need to change the default printer. Because Windows is locked down when you log in as a User, you must perform the following steps to configure the default printer:
- Log out of the Windows User account.
- Log in to the Windows Admin account.
- From the Start menu, select Programs, Accessories, and Notepad.
- Type the following, where “Printer Name” is the name of the desired default printer (such as “Lexmark 2310”).
- RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /y /n “Printer Name”
- From the File menu, select Save As. Change the filename to DefaultPrinter.bat (make sure the extension is not .txt).
- Open the Startup directory. In Windows XP, this directory is found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Start Manu\Programs. In Windows 7, it is found in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
- Copy the DefaultPrinter.bat file to the user profile in the Startup subfolder.
- Restart the server.
